I missed this post.... so what would happen during that week


find me a rcsb with 5.3 and 6 speed and we can talk.. they literally don't exist up here... unless I want to go get a brand new one which they want an arm and a leg for them...

Easy, the truck had no options except the Texas edition and Chrome grill. The truck MSRP'd for 35,000, There was 6,000$ worth of rebates and i got them to knock another 2k off, I had a high value trade in with my 2010 GMC Sierra so the taxes were pretty much paid for.

I bought my Truck from Beck N Masten North, I dealt with a bad *** sales person (Melinda) and she made the deal happen, I even got here to get the truck from Victoria. She did me a favor and had the front windows tinted as well.

Get the rcsb and throw a blower ot turbo and be done. Or you can do a 6.2 swap down the road too. You're overthinking this one.

I've got an 08 RCSB 5.3. I've got a ported LS7 tb, UDP, modified stock airbox, Airraid tube, drop in K&N, OBX long tubes/y pipe, magnaflow dumped under the bed, 3:73's, vette servos, LS6 cam and a tune. I would venture to say its and easy mid 13 sec truck and I've got about $1500 in mods. It gets good gas mileage too. How fast you want to go is directly affected by how much you want to spend.


Adding a 2800 stall and probably a 100 shot mid summer. Should be a solid 12 sec daily driver.
